Kevin, whenever I read about you and hunger I think about the two of us going to the grand buffet in the strip mall at Ashland and Barry, bringing some newspapers to read and a chess board.

I saw this ad on the subway today for a hospital with new, roomier MRI machines. It showed a big man about to go into it with his hands behind his head, straight relaxin'. It said they can accomodate people up to 550 pounds.

Also, Morbs, if your opposition to abortion is that aborting a fetus is equivalent to killing a living thing, I must ask what punishment you think is appropriate for a woman who gets an abortion.
― Jenny, Wednesday, 2 January 2008 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link
In IL, the penalty for first degree murder ranges from 20 years to death.
― Jenny, Wednesday, 2 January 2008 20:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Jenny, I recognize those issues re lesbians exist. Also, I think you meant "equivalent to killing a human," because an ant is a living thing and there is no penalty.
And I am not discussing my views on that issue on the Internet. It's like arguing about the sunrise.
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 2 January 2008 21:00 (sixteen years ago) link
...But that you immediately leapt to the conclusion that I am an abortion abolitionist is kinda significant in this context. See Citizen Ruth.
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 2 January 2008 21:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Having considered it and swept aside knee-jerk reactions, I would have to say that the decision of when when a pregnancy should or should not be kept (because of the fetus being a human or not) is a decision that the pregnant person has a right to decide far more than a legislator or *any other* party involved.

This all reminds me--in the wake of the slew of Right-wing homos I've had the great luck to meet recently, I was chatting with a really nice 22 year old at the bar recently who told me that his greatest goal in moving to Chicago was to work at Planned Parenthood. I wanted to hug him and set up a fund for grad school for him.
